Jack, I have an '01 S model that just turned 15,000 miles last weekend...Yes, she is my baby and as garage kept as possible.
I am the second Owner and purchased the car last Feb. with 13,000 on the odo. Car has complete mainatenance history attached and was adult owned / maintained to the hilt.
The original owner was from Sacremento, CA and the car lived out there for almost 6 years, prior to coming east.
Whan I purchased, I had Jim Ellis in Atlanta do the PPI and everything came back clean. In fact, they asked if the car had ever seen rain and I said the original Owner may have been caught a couple times in, but not any serious driving at all.
I am a little concerned about what i have been hearing with regard to the IMS failures. If it blows, it blows, but I would like to know what protective measures I can do now to prevent such a chaotic experience. Is there something you can do to the existing engine that will bulletproof it, or should i just wait for a possible explosion to occur...
Just don't have 20 - 25k laying around for a new conversion if this happened tomorrow, but have some cash available for preventive measures.
The warranty is obviously gone, and I don't think these aftermarket company's are really going to cover this kind of loss...as they know the game.
Thanks for any responses you have. Jon Clark.
